We’re excited to share a new addition to the Coastal Carolina Council Scout Office & Scout Store... an accessible ramp!

This improvement makes it easier for Scouts, families, volunteers, and visitors with mobility needs to access our office and Scout Store comfortably and safely.

We’re proud to continue making our space more welcoming and accessible to everyone in the Scouting community.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this improvement possible!

Important Membership Renewal Update
Scouting America has announced an important change to the membership renewal process. The current membership lapse (grace) period will be phased out and will officially end on December 31, 2026.
What’s Changing?
The membership lapse period has allowed members a short grace period after their renewal date before becoming inactive. As Scouting America simplifies its renewal process, that grace period will gradually be reduced and then eliminated.
Timeline
October 2026 Renewals
• Last members to receive the full 2-month lapse period
November 2026 Renewals
• 1-month lapse period
December 2026 Renewals
• No lapse period
Beginning September 2026, new and renewing units will pay the standard charter fee plus prorated membership fees through February 2028.
Beginning January 1, 2027, all members must maintain a current registration to remain active. Expired memberships may impact participation, advancement, leadership eligibility, and registration status.
Now is a great time for unit leaders, committee members, and families to review renewal dates and plan ahead to avoid any interruption in membership.
Additional information will be shared as Scouting America continues implementing its updated membership and renewal process.
